Chapter 201 I'm not a devil
Seeing that Zhai Sangjie remained silent, Helian Tanyao assumed he was still considering it and chuckled, "This princess is the most favored princess of Nansang—Helian Tanyao."
"If you become my consort, I will guarantee you endless glory in Nansang, and you will have everything you desire."
"How is it, General Zhai?"
She raised her head with a hint of pride, her long black hair flying behind her.
She was beautiful and powerful from a young age, and no man could ever refuse her. She was confident that Zhai Sangjie was no exception.
Wu Muli's face grew increasingly ashen.
"Princess, His Majesty will not allow you to marry General Longyan as your consort." He said in a low voice, suppressing his anger.
"Why not?"
Helian Tanyao glanced at him sideways, ignoring his dissatisfaction.
"My father wants to marry Long Yan's daughter as his empress. I only want to be a consort, and besides, he is Long Yan's invincible general. If my father knew this, he would be overjoyed and would not object."
If Zhai Sangjie really agrees to marry into Nan Sang, then Long Yan will lose a capable general.
Helian Kuangmo was naturally pleased with the outcome.
Wu Muli's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, and his pale skin looked even paler in the moonlight.
He gave a chilling smile, a fleeting glint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Since the princess likes it, I will help you with the ceremony."
"I knew it, you're the only one who treats me the best." Helian Tanyao smiled brightly at him.
Gu Xiruo looked at Helian Tanyao in the crowd and unconsciously bit her lower lip.
This woman appears charming and beautiful, but her personality is passionate and unrestrained.
Look at the soft whip in her hand, so nimble as a snake, she must be very skilled in martial arts.
If the general truly takes a liking to her, he can take her with him to fight the enemy...
Unlike myself, I only ever hold the general back...
Her heart felt like a wet, tightly wrung handkerchief, dripping heavily.
It feels stuffy and suffocating.
Zhai Sangjie curled his lips slightly and snorted disdainfully, "Helian Tanyao? You probably haven't figured it out yet. Today it's not about whether you're letting me go, but whether I'm willing to let you go."
Helian Tanyao was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"Crossbows! Prepare!" Zhai Sangjie stopped wasting words with her and gave the order in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Zhong immediately led his soldiers to lift the black cloth covering the "supply carts," split open the wooden planks, and reveal the crossbows inside.
Helian Tanyao and Wu Muli were both greatly surprised.
"You're not transporting grain or fodder?!"
For a fleeting moment, Wu Muli's expression cracked.
Could it be that someone from the Longyan Dynasty betrayed them and provided Nan Sang with false information?
His face was grim, feeling that everything was going wrong today. Not only did Black Wind Stronghold fail to come to his aid, but he was also outmaneuvered by the Dragon Flame Army!
"put--"
Zhai Sangjie waved his hand, and several crossbows were fired at the Nan Sang troops.
The boulders were hurled at them, and the Nansang soldiers fled in panic.
A huge rock was struck from a distance, heading straight for Helian Tanyao. She raised her whip and shattered the rock.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
Scattered rubble lay before them. Wu Muli, disregarding everything else, grabbed Helian Tanyao by the waist and flew away.
However, the pebbles seemed endless, coming at them one after another, and Wu Muli found it difficult to defend himself.
"Princess! Withdraw the troops immediately!" he shouted, protecting Helian Tanyao.
If we continue fighting today, I fear the casualties will be heavy!
Helian Tanyao looked at Zhai Sangjie, bit her lip, and said unwillingly, "Zhai Sangjie! The area outside Cangyun Valley is full of my troops. Just because you won today doesn't mean you'll have such good luck tomorrow!"
"As long as you don't agree to become my son-in-law, I will never let you go!"
"I'll challenge you tomorrow, and this princess will show you what Nan Sang is all about!"
"withdraw!"
At a command, the Nan Sang troops, covering Helian Tan Yao and Wu Mu Li, withdrew from Cang Yun Valley.
Gu Xiruo immediately rushed to Zhai Sangjie's side, "General, are you alright?"
Zhai Sangjie glanced at her and shook his head.
Pang Zhong also chimed in, "General, what should we do if they use Gu magic tomorrow?"
Zhai Sangjie placed one hand on his chest, feeling the green snake grass in his arms, and his eyes became even calmer.
"there is always a solution to a problem."
"Let them use whatever tricks they have up their sleeve. I want to see just how powerful this Nan Sang really is."
He looked at the sky.
We just need to hold out until Guan Lingcheng's troops arrive.
Zhai Sangjie ordered them to set up camp on the spot.
Seeing that they were busy, Gu Xiruo offered to help, but was stopped one by one.
"Xiao Gu, you're so thin and weak, you shouldn't do these rough and heavy jobs."
"Yes, Xiao Gu, you still need to save your hands to make pancakes for us, so don't hurt them."
The soldiers were all thinking of her best interests.
Gu Xiruo felt somewhat lost for some reason.
Unable to find anything to do, the image of Helian Tanyao's dashing figure under the moonlight floated into her mind, and before she knew it, she sat down by the stream.
Seeing her dejected expression, Pang Zhong knew exactly what was going on.
Xiao Gu must be jealous!
He probably doesn't even know that the general harbors ill intentions towards him!
"Is Xiao Gu angry because Princess Nansang has taken a liking to the general?" Pang Zhong asked furtively as he sat down next to Gu Xiruo.
Gu Xiruo was startled and quickly waved her hand in denial, "How could that be! Deputy General Pang, you mustn't be joking!"
She looked around and, seeing that no one was around, breathed a sigh of relief. "That Princess Nansang has taken a liking to the general, what do I have to be angry about?"
After saying that, he threw a stone into the water with a splash.
Pang Zhong chuckled, leaned closer to her, and whispered, "Let me tell you the truth, the general would never fall for that Princess Nansang!"
"Why?" Gu Xiruo stared at him blankly.
Why was Deputy General Pang so certain?
Pang Zhong beckoned, and Gu Xiruo leaned closer. Pang Zhong held his breath with one hand and whispered in her ear, "Because the general... doesn't like women!"
"Wh-what?!" Gu Xiruo was so shocked she almost jumped up.
She looked at Pang Zhong, who had a confident expression, and hesitated to speak.
Zhai Sangjie saw Gu Xiruo and Pang Zhong talking together from a distance. The two were very close, chatting and laughing. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable and walked over.
"What are you saying? Your mouth is practically stretched to the back of your ears," he said to Pang Zhong.
"General!"
Both of them stood up hurriedly, somewhat afraid to look at him.
Zhai Sangjie's gaze swept over the two of them. Seeing that neither of them answered, and that they even exchanged a knowing glance, he felt increasingly annoyed.
Unable to bear his oppressive atmosphere, Pang Zhong quickly said, "Well, I still need to set up the tent, I'll go first, you guys chat, chat..."
Without waiting for Zhai Sangjie's reply, he slipped away.
Gu Xiruo looked up at Zhai Sangjie and saw the darkness in his eyes and the coldness in his voice. She couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Um, I also..."
"Are you going to run away too?" The voice carried a hint of displeasure and pressure.
Gu Xiruo immediately shook her head vigorously.
Seeing her like this, Zhai Sangjie felt even more choked up. "I'm not a devil, why are you so afraid of me?"
Zhai Sangjie approached her.
Gu Xiruo stumbled backward and nearly fell into the stream. Zhai Sangjie quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. Gu Xiruo cried out and bumped into his arms.
A familiar fragrance lingers in the air.
Zhai Sangjie frowned suspiciously, then bent down and approached Gu Xiruo's neck...
